Volunteering - 1.  What can it do for you?

‘Tis the Season... right?  Everyone thinks about volunteering around this time of year.  While volunteering is incredibly important during the holidays and cold winter months, volunteering has many added benefits that are a reward to you ...the person doing the volunteering.

There are “selfish” reasons to volunteer.  And that’s fine.   Now...don’t get me wrong, we’re not talking about receiving monetary gain or exploitation...we’re talking about simple quality of life benefits you get back from volunteering.  Volunteering because you see a need and want to do what you can to meet it is rewarding all by itself.   And while you are volunteering and assisting those in need, it’s perfectly all right to reap the benefits too.  

Volunteering connects you to the community.  If you are new to an area or feel like it’s always the same people and the same things all the time, volunteering can put you in contact with new people.  It is a wonderful way to strengthen existing relationships and build new ones.  It can expand your own support network, allowing you to meet and get to know people with common interests.

If you are looking at starting a new career or you have recently moved to the area, volunteering can be an invaluable way to try new things and meet new people.

Try a new employment field before jumping in with both feet.  Gain contacts in the job market that allows you to network and find that new paid job.  Learn new job skills and gain confidence in those abilities.  Take some time and consider volunteering, and in the coming weeks we will take a deeper look at the benefits the volunteer receives.

In the 1950s, biologist Jonas Salk was working hard to find a cure for polio. No matter how much progress he made, the dark basement in Pittsburgh that he used as his laboratory just wasn’t stimulating the breakthroughs that he needed.
